[Rsiena-help] Error in X$FRAN (z,x, INIT = TRUE):

[Ruth M. Ripley]

Dear Kimberley,

The message is strange if you have 63 actors: this should translate to 0 
to 62! It would be worth checking that all files are consistent with this 
number of actors.

You don't say what version of RSiena you are using, but I expect it is not 
very recent if you are using R version 2.9.

I suggest first you update to R 2.11 and RSiena 1.0.10 (from CRAN) or 
1.0.11 (from Tom Snijders web page or R-forge).

If that does not fix it, please send me the data. If you are using the 
gui, then either save the model and send that, or send me the session file 
and data files. If you are not using the gui, then save things when you 
exit R and send me the .RData and .Rhistory files (hidden files: you need 
to set an option in Windows explorer to see them: if this is not familiar 
to you, you can use the Save history and Save workspaces options on the 
file menu to make them non-hidden files).

Regards,

Ruth
